Yea sorry I was recalling from memory.
> One question, have you ever considered the opposite of what you're saying to be true, or looked for the evidence for that?
I look at what the scientists who have spent years in that field are saying and is peer reviewed.
You go searching on the internet for the answer you expect, you will find it.
> authority bias
Authority bias is where an expert in field X claims to have knowledge in field Y when they don't.
Thanks. Do you mean the Totally Under Control documentary from 2020?
One question, have you ever considered the opposite of what you're saying to be true, or looked for the evidence for that? Saying because I've heard of and looked at both opinions you've expressed in your comment and heard and seen evidence for them to be true. I also did the opposite. And looking at the opposite seemed more true objectively and with the emotions and popular biases like authority bias and other harmful ones removed.
"If you can't see anything wrong with the side you agree with, and you can't see anything right with the side you disagree with, you've been manipulated." Very wise quote.
One of the issues that came out of the covid outbreak was there was not enough masks for medical staff.
They initially said masks wouldn't help so that the public wouldn't buy them up.
This is covered in the documentary "Totally under control".
